HAIR MARCELLER Application filed October 15, 1927. Serial No. 226,383.

My invention relates to toilet accessories and has particular referenceto devices for curling, marcelling, or waving the hair, the object ofthe invention being to provide a device of this characterwhichisrelatively light in weight, easily applied and removed and which willproduce a more permanent waving or curling of the hair than isaccomplished by the use of the devices heretofore proposed in the art.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hair curler of thischaracter which is exceedingly simple and practical in construction, yetwhich will be strong, durable and ef'icientin use, which will not injurethe hair,

and which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise welladapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the special construction,combination and arrangement of the various elements forming theinvention as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming part 5 hereof, whereinlike numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in position for receiving astrand of hair,

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the main hair retaining bar in lockedposition,

Figure 3 is a similar view showing the mainand supplemental hairretaining bars in locked position, and

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially along a line4-t of-Figure 3.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, the invention comprises asubstantially elongated rigid plate member 5, of a slightly 4o arcuateformation between theends thereof, from each end of which extends a pairof spaced parallel rods 6, each of said rods being in longitudinalalinement with the edges of the plate member 5 and with the outer endsof the rods at each end of the plate connected by a transverse rod 7 Amain hair retaining bar 8 is disposed beneath the plate member 5 inlongitudinal alinement therewith, with one end of said bar curved aboutthe transverse rod 7 at one end '5 with the bar 8 interposed between theplate 7 of the bar 8. v

videdwith a catch 12 for engaging the other of the plate member 5whereby to provide a I 4 ing the bar 8 is alsopivotally connected one Iend of a link 10, the opposite end of said link forming a pivotalconnection with a pair of relatively thin springstee'l rods 11 adaptedto'extend longitudinally of the'plate member and said rod. v

As clearly illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing the link 10 isof a relatively short length and adapted to space the rods 11 from thebar 8 so that upon arranging" the strands of hair as shown at 12 in aclamping position between the plate member 5 and bar 8 as shown inFigure 2, the rods 11' will engage the hair at a point remote from theportion so clamped.

The rods 11 may also be brought together to clamp the hair extendingfrom each side One of the rods. 11- is pro of said rods whereby tosecure the sameto-e; gether. The transverse rods 7 at the end of theplate'member opposite from the link 10 carry a swinging cap 13 withinwhich .the free ends of the rods. 11 may be extended upon the movementofthe link 10 and rods? therein as clearly illustrated in Figure 4: of

7 a person to produce a series of curls in the form of marcellingthrough the hair.

It is obvious that my invention is susceptible to various changes andmodifications in construction Without departing from the I spirit of theinvention or the scope of the appended claims, and I accordingly claimall such forms ofthe device. to which I "am entitled. I I 10 Having thusdescribed my invention, what I claim as new is: r 1. A hair curler ofthe class described com-i prising a plate member, a hair retaining bar 7pivotally attached at oneendto said plate 5 member, a catch carriedbysaid plate memberengageable with the: free end of the bar whereby tosecure: said bar against the plate member whereby to retainthe strandsof hair therebetween, a link pivotally carried at the 30 pivotediendi ofsaid bar anda pair of rods attached at one endto said link whereby tospace the adjacent ends of the'rod's and the bar from each other asubstantial: distance, said. rods coacting witheaclrother for clamping aseparate portioirof the hair and independent means carried'by' saidplate'member for engaging. andretaining said rods in superposed relationat one side of the plate; 7 2.v A hair curler. comprising a platemernherhaving spacedparallel. rods extending outwardly from each end thereofand connected at their outer: endssby a transverse rod, ahair retainingbar pivotally attached at one end t0 one of said transverse rods, acatch at the oppositeend of the plate member for'engaging the. free endof the bar and retaining the same against one side of the plate, a linkalso. pivotally attachedto said transverse rod at the pivoted end of thebar, Y '40 a pair of relatively thin spring steelrods pivot-allyconnected at one end to said link and extending longitudinally withrespect. to the bar, means for securing the spring steel rods in closelyspaced relation for clamping'th'e hair therebetween and a rod supportingmember carried by the otherof said transverse rods adapted' to retainthe spring steel rods and; said link in longitudinally extended Irelation against the side of the bar opposite from the plate.
